about

Written by Samuel Barker (ASCAP)

lyrics

In the wake of these lives we’ve lived
And the scars we’ve made
The past comes calling with debts left unpaid

No time for facing yourself or coming clean
You gotta run like hell because
Those memories, they get mean

I’m burning out until the memories fade
Lighting that candle at both ends and gaining speed
Yeah, I’m burning out until the memories fade
Running until those ghosts give up on me

These exit wounds, they still remain,
A souvenir you left
Thoughts my mind just won’t lay to rest

Drop that hammer down, let’s pick up the pace
Because all this noise in my head
It’s more than I can face

I’m burning out until the memories fade
Lighting that candle at both ends and gaining speed
Yeah, I’m burning out until the memories fade
Running until those ghosts give up on me

In the dark, silhouetted scars
They all come crashing down so fast
The fear, the grief, the anxiety
I’m running until it’s lost in the past
Yeah, I’m running until it’s lost in the past

I’m burning out until the memories fade
Lighting that candle at both ends and gaining speed
Yeah, I’m burning out until the memories fade
Running until those ghosts give up on me
